Kalapura

Kalapura is a historical estate (Thikana) belonging to the Ranawat sub-clan of the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar (Udaipur). The Ranawats trace their lineage directly back to Maharana Udai Singh II of Mewar (r. 1537–1572), the founder of Udaipur. As feudatories under the Udaipur State, the nobles of Kalapura provided vital military service and held significant administrative responsibilities, defending the Mewar region during periods of external pressure from both Mughal and Maratha forces. The Thikana maintained its traditional land-tenure rights and administrative autonomy under British paramountcy following the Mewar-British treaty of 1818, preserving its heritage until the integration of Rajputana states into the Indian Union post-Independence.
